Toffee Bars



From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser



_______________________________________


A brown sugar shortbread crust is topped with a layer of chocolate and toffee bits. Rice Krispies are an unexpected addition that help keep the toffee from being overly sweet.



CRUST:

Cream:

2/3 c butter, softened

2/3 c brown sugar

Add:

1 1/4 c flour

Press the dough into a greased 13x9 baking dish.

The dough is sticky and hard to work with-

put a sandwich bag over your hand to pat the dough flat.

Bake @ 350 until the edges begin to brown, 15-20 minutes.


FILLING:

Stir together:

7 oz sweetened condensed milk (1/2 can)

2 Tbsp butter, melted

Pour over crust.

Tilt the pan back and forth to evenly distribute.

Bake @ 350, 7 minutes.


Spread over baked filling:

1 c Rice Krispies


TOPPING:

In a saucepan, over low heat:

1/3 c corn syrup

2 Tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla or 2 tsp imitation vanilla

1 c semi sweet chocolate chips

Stir constantly until melted and smooth.

Remove from heat.

In order to cover the entire pan, pour chocolate in a thin ribbon, zig zagging back & forth, filling in gaps as you go.

Once the chocolate is poured, it does not spread.

Sprinkle over top:

1 c toffee bits- Health &/or Skor

Use a spoon or spatula to pat the toffee down into the chocolate layer.

Let cool completely before cutting.

Cut 4 long rows.

Remove one row to a cutting board.

Cut into narrow strips, 11 or 12 pieces per row.

Repeat with other rows.



Put your hand in a sandwich baggie to easily pat sticky crust down.



Cut into 4 long rows.
